| | '''Blue Squadron''' is a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] Squadron on the [[Battlestar (RDM)|Battlestar]] [[Pegasus (RDM)|''Pegasus'']]. |
|
| |
|
| | | During the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]], Blue Squadron is shown on the Dradis screen participating in the battle. It was presumably led by Captain [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]). |

| '''Blue Squadron''' is the [[wireless]] callsign of several fighter squadrons.
| |
| | |
| It is the designation of the initial Viper squadron sortied from ''Pegasus'' during its [[Battle of the Communications Relay|attack on a Cylon communications relay]] under Admiral Cain {{TRS|Razor}}.
| |
| | |
| During the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]], Blue Squadron is shown on the DRADIS screen participating in the battle. It is presumably led by {{callsign|Starbuck}} {{TRS|The Captain's Hand}}. | |
| | |
| During the [[Battle of New Caprica]], Blue Squadron departs ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' during planetfall. They lead hit and run attacks on surface installations during the battle. It is possibly led by {{callsign|Hot Dog}} {{TRS|Exodus, Part II}}.
| |
| | |
| Later, the name is used for a [[Raptor]] picket led by {{callsign|Helo}} {{TRS|The Son Also Rises}}. Blue Squadron appears on ''Galactica'''s DRADIS during the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] {{TRS|He That Believeth in Me}}.

| == Similar terms ==
| |
| * A group of Vipers is called "Blue Team" during a training exercise. Led by {{callsign|Kat}}, it measures its skills against [[Red Team]] {{TRS|Torn}}
| |
| * In a "[[A Day in the Life]]," Lee Adama orders his pilots to do flying and landing exercises, dividing them into red, blue, yellow and green "sections".
| |
| | |
| == Notes ==
| |
| * Originally it seemed that Blue Squadron could be a standing squadron on ''{{RDM|Pegasus}}'' (similar to the naming scheme of the {{TOS|Battlestar Galactica|Original Series}}). However, later the term is used for widely different units, which are led by different people. This suggests that it is merely a callsign to identify the squadrons on the wireless and [[DRADIS]].
